The Winnipeg Jets and Vegas Golden Knights play for the first time in a month on Thursday night in Las Vegas. But it's fair to say that a lot has changed in that time for Gerard Gallant's defending Western Conference champions.

Three days after that 6-3 home loss to the Jets, Vegas -- then losers of six of seven games -- obtained right wing Mark Stone from the Ottawa Senators at the trade deadline.

The Golden Knights have won nine of their 10 games since that transaction and will be trying for their fourth win in a row against Winnipeg, which has won each of the first two meetings by a combined score of 10-4 and can clinch a Stanley Cup playoff berth with a victory.
